We're smart enough to know wrong from right. We're intelligent enough to pick good over bad. We're even wise enough to know our strengths from our weaknesses. Even so, as women, some days we find our self-esteem playing tug-of-war with the Devil and when we take a minute to examine our lives and the choices we've made, we may be surprised to find ourselves drowning in our own self-induced "Mess-ology"!

"Get Yo Life!" started off simply as a weekly blog with advice from a SistaGirl perspective using sarcasm and humor blended with reality, has since been created into a 52 week plan of holding a mirror to your choices, transforming your confidence, and changing your life one week at a time.

Shaena “Sexcee” Jackson is an author and single mother of 2 boys who has a passion for writing and helping people from her community. Born and raised in Compton California, she was faced with many struggles in her childhood but she never allowed her problems at home to get in the way of her academics. School was always there when neither of her parents were and she fell in love with the idea that she could escape her reality by reading books. She graduated as Valedictorian of her class at Davis Middle School, with honors at Dominguez High School, and on the Dean’s List at Cal State University Dominguez Hills. Although always on top of her academics and studies, she always had a hidden self-esteem issue that no one knew about except her. She struggled with everything about her physical appearance from her big round eyes, thin sandy brown hair, and especially the color of her dark skin.

Today, she embraces all of her issues and has become a catalyst for encouraging young women everywhere to value their own self-worth with the use of activities that promote positive self-esteem and a healthy attitude towards life.
